It&#8217;s almost like he picked the best of both the composers to create a signature sound for himself. He is known as the &#8220;Melody King&#8221; and there is no second thought about it. Ennai Konja Konja is a perfect example of why he is called so, The song is composed in the raga Meghmalhar and since it is a Hindustani raga, Vidyasagar unleashes its full potential all through the song. The song has Dholak for its rhythms and the first interlude is a Shehnai peace ending with some nice bass pluckings. It&#8217;s in the charanam that Vidyasagar innovates, as the tune touches some crazy chords and it adds to the overall effect. Both the stanzas end with a Hindustani vocal flourish with ease by Hariharan, he must have relished singing this song. The second interlude has Dholak beats with some bols, followed by a mellow flute piece after which we hear the divine strains of the sitar and the piece is sort of played off-beat to enhance the effect. There are not too many songs in South in this raga (which sounds close to Darbari Kanada) and this song is a worthy addition to the list.
